Personal Information: I’ve been happily married for 8 years with 2 boys aged 11 and 5 and live in London. My experience in finance spans back to 1987 and totals 18 years. I spent 12 years as a mortgage advisor at Barclays before taking adoption leave for 1 year to bond with my youngest. I then joined the Mortgage Broker Limited, where I’m now self-employed, giving me more flexibility in my work life balance.  I’ve recently taken up cycling as a hobby to keep fit and do my bit for the environment.
